So I've got a new addition to my family that I'm looking forward to taking hiking for the first time this summer. Right now he is a little over 5 months and pretty awesome - although a long ways off from carrying a pack of his own. Any tips for a mom and dad looking to take their baby on a hiking trip? Should I be concerned about the nylon tent floor and choking? Any tips on packing and diapers? Would you have one parent carry the baby on back and the other carry the majority of the gear, or use a front pack for the baby?
Any tips are welcome, this is a new chapter for me. Thanks!
